Explore our history of accomplishments in the cannabis industry.

2019

In February of 2019, Medical Marijuana, Inc. became the first company to have its CBD products listed among the healthcare resources provided in the U.S. Physicians’ Desk Reference. Two products from our portfolio – Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ (RSHO™) Gold Label and Kannaway Pure Gold CBD – were added to the 2019 edition, providing healthcare professionals guidelines when discussing or recommending CBD products to their patients.

2017

In November of 2017, Medical Marijuana, Inc. subsidiary HempMeds® Mexico became the first company to address the United Nations and the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) about cannabidiol (CBD). HempMeds® Mexico President Raul Elizalde was invited to Geneva to speak at the W.H.O Meeting of the Expert Committee on Drug Scheduling, where he urged the committee to recognize CBD as non-psychoactive and to classify it as a nutritional supplement.

In August 2017, the State of Mexico became the first state in the country to subsidize CBD products for its citizens, agreeing to purchase THC-free Real Scientific Hemp Oil™-X (RSHO™-X) from MJNA international subsidiary HempMeds® Mexico for individuals suffering from a variety of serious indications.

2016

In May of 2016, Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ became the first medical cannabis product approved and imported for use in Paraguay. This event marked the third time in a little over a year that RSHO™ was the first cannabis product approved in a Latin American country, following the lead of Brazil and Mexico.

A THC-free version of Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s Real Scientific Hemp Oil™, RSHO-X™, was the first medical cannabis product accepted into Mexico when it was approved as a prescription medication early in 2016. It was authorized for a young girl Grace, who suffered from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, leaving her with up to 400 seizures a day.

2015

In 2015, HempMeds® Brasil, a subsidiary of Medical Marijuana, Inc., became the first company to have a cannabis-based product, Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ (RSHO™), fully subsidized by a national government.

HempMeds® Brasil, a subsidiary of Medical Marijuana, Inc., became the first company to have a cannabis product, Real Scientific Hemp Oil™(RSHO™), prescribed for a number of indications when it was exported to Brazil for all forms of epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain and migraines.

In Sept. of 2015, Medical Marijuana, Inc. became the first company to have cannabis products approved for sale in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. This island of 3.6 million is a significant market for CBD hemp oil products like Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ (RSHO™).

2014

2012

Medical Marijuana, Inc. subsidiary Kannalife™ Sciences holds the first two licenses awarded to develop and commercialize drug treatments under the U.S. government’s only cannabinoid patent. Kannalife™ Sciences is a phyto-medical company specializing in the research and development of cannabinoid based pharmaceuticals

Medical Marijuana, Inc. became the first company to market a cannabidiol (CBD) brand when it developed the Dixie X product line as part of the Dixie Elixirs brand, creating the first medical marijuana brand to make a national and international market for CBD hemp oil products. This was possible due to the use of hemp as a source of CBD oil, which is naturally low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Recognizing the need for a national cannabinoid market to create access to cannabinoids to as many people as possible, despite the legal challenges, Medical Marijuana, Inc. began researching ways to bring cannabis-based products to a wider customer base.

As a pioneer in the CBD hemp oil space, Medical Marijuana, Inc. has had to build many of its practices and procedures from scratch, from choosing the right hemp cultivar to grow to determining the best ingredients to include in the final products. There was no well worn path in front of us to follow, so we made our own.

Medical Marijuana, Inc. has taken on the mission of providing cannabinoids to as many people as possible worldwide, both safely and legally. The steps to completing this mission started with the distribution expansion of top name brands within the industry, such as Dixie Botanicals®, in the medical cannabis space.
